Book Synopsis Esoteric Dictionary by : Christine A. Hale
Download or read book Esoteric Dictionary written by Christine A. Hale and published by Innercircle Pub. This book was released on 2007-08-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Esoteric Dictionary is a small, succinct volume of mostly common words with uncommon understandings designed to bring insights to the reader. This book can be a mental maze for those who like distinct, linear avenues of thought and belief systems; and, simultaneously a map - for divine fools who trip along paths fearlessly and unwittingly - musing on the words, and allowing a turn of mind to put them in another part of the landscape. One may begin at Angels and end with Zero, or begin with Red Herrings and finish at Destiny - it makes no difference, for this is a map/maze which readers create in their own mindscape. There is no beginning and no end, changing form and dimension in the mind's eye. Mental travelers may find some areas of the book not relevant to their map. For those creating a maze, paragraphs may appear as confusing and paradoxical dead-ends. Beware of the lurking Minotaur within the mind! The Esoteric Dictionary is easy to read, sophisticated, yet with an underlying humor that clarifies the readers' understanding of what would normally be complex esoteric concepts. It is an ideal gift book, and appeals to those that are not necessarily interested in esoteric concepts, but in life's various perspectives. One needs no background knowledge of metaphysics to understand the ideas presented in this book. Read More at www.innercirclepublishing.com

Book Synopsis Religious Publishing and Print Culture in Modern China by : Philip Clart
Download or read book Religious Publishing and Print Culture in Modern China written by Philip Clart and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholarly interest in print culture and in the study of religion in modern China has increased in recent years, propelled by maturing approaches to the study of cultural history and by a growing recognition that both were important elements of China's recent past. The influence of China in the contemporary world continues to expand, and with it has come an urgent need to understand the processes by which its modern history was made. Issues of religious freedom and of religion's influence on the public sphere continue to be contentious but important subjects of scholarly work, and the role of print and textual media has not dimmed with the advent of electronic communication. This book, Religious Publishing and Print Culture in Modern China1800-2012, speaks to these contemporary and historical issues by bringing to light the important and abiding connections between religious development and modern print culture in China. Bringing together these two subjects has a great deal of potential for producing insights that will appeal to scholars working in a range of fields, from media studies to social historians. Each chapter demonstrates how focusing on the role of publishing among religious groups in modern China generates new insights and raises new questions. They examine how religious actors understood the role of printed texts in religion, dealt with issues of translation and exegesis, produced print media that heralded social and ideological changes, and expressed new self-understandings in their published works. They also address the impact of new technologies, such as mechanized movable type and lithographic presses, in the production and meaning of religious texts. Finally, the chapters identify where religious print culture crossed confessional lines, connecting religious traditions through links of shared textual genres, commercial publishing companies, and the contributions of individual editors and authors. This book thus demonstrates how, in embracing modern print media and building upon their longstanding traditional print cultures, Christian, Buddhist, Daoist, and popular religious groups were developed and defined in modern China. While the chapter authors are specialists in religious traditions, they have made use of recent studies into publishing and print culture, and like many of the subjects of their research, are able to make connections across religious boundaries and link together seemingly discrete traditions.

Download or read book Alchemy written by Diana Fernando and published by Sterling Publishing Company Incorporated. This book was released on 1998 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Alchimistiches Medaillon to Zuccari, delve into the mysteries of alchemy -- the ancient mystical art considered to be one of the four esoteric paths to enlightenment. Closely related to witchcraft, alchemy is neither a science nor a philosophy, but rather a striving for perfection on a physical and metaphysical level. Alchemy is about transforming materials -- metals as well as people. This generously illustrated dictionary features entries on laboratory operations and well-known alchemists as well as information on the framework that made alchemy possible -- the brotherhoods, the sacred places, the transmitters, collectors and patrons, the texts and publishers, and something of the language, including cabalistic and glyphic. A great deal of emphasis is laid on pictures and emblems, which are keys to understanding the path of alchemy. Anyone interested in exploring the marvels of this elusive pursuit will find this unique volume to be an invaluable resource.
Book Synopsis Dictionary of Alchemy by : Mark Haeffner
Download or read book Dictionary of Alchemy written by Mark Haeffner and published by Aeon Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alchemy is a rich and complex esoteric tradition that has flourished world-wide since the beginning of recorded history, if not earlier. There are three main traditions: Western Christian, Indo-tibetan and Chinese Taoist. Within this diversity there are many common features, which are analysed, organized, and brought together in this comprehensive dictionary of terms, symbols, and personalities. This dictionary is the distillation of many years' research into the extensive arcane literature. It is a reference work to guide the readers throught the labyrinth of pre-Newtonian science and philosophy. The dictionary covers not only the materialist dimension of the search for the elixir of life and the transmutation of metals, but also the inner search for the gold of mystical illumination. Jung called alchemy 'the projection of a drama both cosmic and spiritual in laboratorty terms'. This opus alchymicum goes beyond the bare analysis and interpretation of terms to present a harmonic, integrated vision of man and nature, which may help to heal the fragmented world view of modern science.
